Literacy – Writing
As part of our introduction to the theme Titanic, our pupils investigated and reported on a recent disaster that hit the headlines. Pupils researched information on Hurricane Irma.
They collected information on what it was, where it started and what happened as a result of it.
Several drafts were written and reports were continually refined as new research information was found….watch this space for the final report!
Numeracy – Number Talks
Pupils worked together to explore a variety of approaches that they could employ to arrive at an answer for a selection of computational problems.
As they shared ideas and demonstrated their approaches, they discovered new ways of adding that they had never previously considered. This helped them to strengthen their concepts of rounding and estimating.
Health & Well-being
As pupils set up for the new academic year, they worked through a variety of activities that helped them get to know each other. They made their own Selfie (no names) and the other pupils were asked to guess who that person might be…
In addition to this, they worked on developing a framework behaviours that were reflected of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. and on how they wished to be treated.
Science – Water, Water Everywhere!
Linked to our pupils conducted a number of activities (including experiments) on the properties of water.
Pupils made their own Water Cycle and learned about the various stages of the Cycle.
We also explored the properties of objects and made hypothese
s as to why the chosen objects would either float or sink.
